Valuing people by their number of direct or indirect reports makes a lot of sense. If I am one of a group of ten people and I'm 20% more productive than the others, my extra contribution only adds about 2% to the total. If I am a good manager my staff might be 5% more productive than an average manager's. Think about it.
We're stuck writing apps that support IE8 because companies have so much legacy investment in other applications that require it they can't afford to move up to IE11.
Now if Microsoft came up with a browser that was secure, and supported all the IE8 wierdness, and was industry stand otherwise , and...oh never mind. Just keep calling it Internet Explorer and deal with the reputation.
This help explain why a good 35% [theweek.com] of adult Americans' debt is in collections.
The article you linked to does not say that. It does put a few numbers close to each other in way that seems to intentionally mislead a person to that conclusion though.
What it does say is that roughly 35% of people with debt (not all Americans) have a bill (not all of their debt) that is at least 180 days overdue.
According to TFA your data won't be stored in China unless you live in China. I assume Apple had to choose between playing by the Chinese government's rules or not playing at all; although I assume this is just a delaying tactic by China to maintain control until they can replace Apple with something of their own.
Are the performance comparisons actual results? I don't see that they have a working chip yet. Plus they appear to have compared their 64bit design against an older 32bit ARM chip that's already in production. It wouldn't surprise me if the chip ends up close to what they are claiming but it still seems a bit premature to be making those claims.
Joke aside, being distracted by something you see wasn't part of test. They detected involuntary eye movements when the subject anticipated seeing something. If you've ever known someone with real ADHD you'll understand this; they get distracted thinking something is about to distract them, you can see it in their eyes...
It depends on what you mean by "specs". Ideally the organization commissioning the work has subject matter experts who know what they want, but don't try to dictate how to do it. They should have enough technical people on staff or on contract to review the proposed implementation.
The real problems start when either non-technical people try to do the technical design, or technical people try to guess what the application should do. In the case of healthcare.gov, nobody really know what they wanted. CMS had no experience running an insurance exchange.
They think they can educate people who know full well what crap they'll shoveling.
What you say is true. But a good troll doesn't make it obvious that he's there to stir up trouble. Instead they pretend to want to discuss some topic of interest. Then, once the discussion gets going they try to turn up the heat to get everyone pissed off. That's power to them, they're controlling people.
There are any number of sites that rate and recommend apps. But I doubt anyone takes those recommendations seriously any more than they would take recommendations from Apple staffers. Everyone knows money talks...
There's nothing borderline illegal or unwise about Cisco's move. The purpose of favoring capital gains is to encourage investment. Hopefully the 6000 jobs lost will be replaced by more than 6000 jobs that come from investment and growth.
One doesn't really have anything to do with the other.
Those 6,000 jobs aren't in the company's future plans. It would suck to be one of the employees being terminated, but there's no more reason for them to be on the payroll than for Cisco to go out and hire 6,000 buggy whip makers.
As far as buying back the stock, that's a separate decision that probably makes a sense for the company's future. I don't know or care since I don't pay any attention to Cisco.
Or maybe by recognizing that a member of their group who was especially good at organizing a hunt should be the one who organizes the hunts. Even if that meant he got some extra reward for being the best, the rest of the group benefited from his leadership.
At least it has chin protection. If you've ever seen what happens to a person's jaw when they face plant on the road wearing an open or half helmet you'll understand why it's essential.
It should be at the state level in the United States. Federal should only be concerned with international and interstate issues, but they can't stop themselves from meddling.
Odd as it seems, radiation wouldn't leak out of a reactor with that design. Radiation isn't like smoke going up a stack, the material in the reactor is what's radioactive.
I think the best that can be done with a single image is around 15cm due to the atmosphere. Maybe somewhat better with multiple images, although I don't know how well that works on a moving target/ moving platform except at astronomical distances.
I once heard that during the Iran crisis back in the late 70's the imagery was good enough that they could identify the Ayatollahs by the shape of their beards
Biometric identification is needed to reduce fraud. We all know how easy it is for one person to vote as many times as they want. There is no way to even estimate how much Medicaid recipient fraud costs. Biometrics certainly won't eliminate fraud in these and other places but it's a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately we're very unlikely to see any progress on this anytime soon. Even suggesting that a person should present identification when voting is met with howls of protest.
Anyone who has more than one child will tell you that they're different from birth. Personalities, intelligence, artistic ability, everything - right out of the package.

Anonymity on Facebook is more of a concept than a reality. For a while my dog had a Facebook account (thanks to my daughter).
Which is why there is thing called a GPO you can set sites to run in IE 8 compatibility mode
Yea, If that worked they would use it. On the other hand, if it introduces other strange behaviors they won't use it (hint: they won't use it).
They coordinate, interface with other groups and try to solve all issues that prevents the people they work for (the engineers) from doing their jobs
That's probably what the company owner wanted GP to be doing. It would be more valuable to the company than him working as an individual contributor.

You forgot to mention:

a breakthrough from studying transparent zebra fish? I'll believe it when I see it.
I see what you did there.

A couple of big "if this and if that" in the quote. If the repair is cheap and safe they could run the reactors for another 20 years.

Seems they could just run it from Alaska to Russia. Wouldn't even lose sight of the ship laying the cable.
